So I’m bringing the topic to the masses!  In case you don’t know me2day is the Korean version of twitter.  I actually do not twitter at all.  I really don’t see the point of it over just im’ing someone.  Perhaps you twitter an me2day folks can enlightened me.  Leave a comment and tell me!

Ok, this video starts off normal and then I was like woooooo.  I really hope this kid gets some help…talk to friends or something cause this could turn in another shooting real soon.  Everyone gets picked on in school, I had to deal with it and I hope you can deal with it in a way that is best for you.

I’m really excited about this new product from Apple.  I’ve been hearing anywhere from $500-$700 USD for this.  Now I am hearing $1,000 USD which would be too expensive for me to buy right away.  It isn’t expected to ship the until March am I wondering if people will be lining up to get one!?  What do you guys think?

The idea of sending your child who spends too much time online might seem harsh but sending your child to a boot camp where they beat you if you can’t control your online urges is just a little too much!  Read more…

The BBC reported that there are dozens of treatment centres offering to wean youths, mostly boys, from spending hours on the web.  Many of them are military-style boot camps that rely on tough programes of physical exercise and counseling.  Two boys were beaten at separate camps earlier this year, one died and the other was severely injured.  “When intervening to prevent improper use of the internet we should… strictly prohibit restriction of personal freedom and physical punishments,” the ministry said in a draft guideline quoted by Reuters news agency.

In July, the ministry of health formally banned the use of electroshock therapy as a treatment option.  There was a public outcry after 15-year-old Deng Senshan died in August less than 24 hours after arrival at the Qihang Salvation Training Camp in Guangxi province.Days later, 14-year-old Pu Liang was put in a Sichuan hospital in a series condition after allegedly being beaten by his boot camp’s principal and other students.  Some estimates suggest up to 10% of the country’s 100 million web users under the age of 20 could be addicted, and a growing number of rehabilitation services have sprung up to deal with the problem.

Some define an internet addict as anyone who is online for at least six hours a day and has little interest in school.  The goal of intervention is… to urge the target people to use the internet in a healthy way,” the ministry of health statement said.  “It’s not to stop them from using the internet.”

Ohh I can say is what an invasion of privacy and down right obsessive behavior.  I mean we all know the paparazzi, this isn’t as bad as the paparazzi we see in America but for heaven’s sake just leave this guy alone.  If he wants to do an interview I’m sure he knows who to call.  Anyways judge for yourself.

Citibank has begun closing customers’ accounts without telling them and get this raising their interest to 29.99%.   Well I have two cards with Citibank aka Shitibank and got a noticed in the mail 2 days ago that one of my cards will be jumping to 29.99%.  Well I used to use this particular card all the time…never keeping a balance for longer than a month or two at the most.  Last year, I got a letter saying my 8% interest rate was jumping to 18.99%.  I called them and asked them what is going on!  They replied back with a response with “it’s because of the financial crisis..blah blah blah…”  Well the exact time they raised my interest rate to18.99% last year they are doing it again this year.  Effective November it will jump to 29.99%, why??  Financial crisis.  Well this card will never be used again until the interest rate is lowered.

There are thousands of people who either got their cards canceled without proper notification or got their interest rate increased to 29.99%.    The AP reported  that “Citi closed the accounts on Wednesday, but sent out letters Monday informing customers of the change. So Citibank waits until the last minute to tell customers, most of whom probably didn’t receive the news before their cards were shut down.”

Are you in the same boat?  Did this happen to you too?  Comment here

Ok, I really have no words for this guy.  What are your thoughts?

Update: Sorry, I had to take down the video because the plugin was causing my website to run slow. If you want to see his videos, please go directly to youtube.

Wow, read the below article. by the AP.  What year are we living in…2009 or 1909??  What gives the right for this guy to worry about any children that isn’t his job.  The ACLU has picked up this case.

HAMMOND, La. — A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have.

Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.

Neither Bardwell nor the couple immediately returned phone calls from The Associated Press. But Bardwell told the Daily Star of Hammond that he was not a racist.

“I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house,” Bardwell said. “My main concern is for the children.”

Bardwell said he has discussed the topic with blacks and whites, along with witnessing some interracial marriages. He came to the conclusion that most of black society does not readily accept offspring of such relationships, and neither does white society, he said.

“I don’t do interracial marriages because I don’t want to put children in a situation they didn’t bring on themselves,” Bardwell said. “In my heart, I feel the children will later suffer.”

If he does an interracial marriage for one couple, he must do the same for all, he said.

“I try to treat everyone equally,” he said.

Thirty-year-old Beth Humphrey and 32-year-old Terence McKay, both of Hammond, say they will consult the U.S. Justice Department about filing a discrimination complaint.

Humphrey told the newspaper she called Bardwell on Oct. 6 to inquire about getting a marriage license signed. She says Bardwell’s wife told her that Bardwell will not sign marriage licenses for interracial couples.

“It is really astonishing and disappointing to see this come up in 2009,” said American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana attorney Katie Schwartzman. “The Supreme Court ruled as far back as 1963 that the government cannot tell people who they can and cannot marry.”

The ACLU was preparing a letter for the Louisiana Supreme Court, which oversees the state justices of the peace, asking them to investigate Bardwell and see if they can remove him from office, Schwartzman said.

“He knew he was breaking the law, but continued to do it,” Schwartzman said.
